Senior Congress leader Ahmed Patel said that the party will be the eventual winner in the 2019 general elections under Rahul Gandhi’s leadership. Patel had won the Rajya Sabha election from Gujarat last year in a neck to neck fight said that the election verdict in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s that there was a “moral victory” for the Congress as the BJP had talked about getting 150 seats, was wrapped up under 100.
He said “Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed so many meetings and used all sorts of tricks from bringing Pakistan… to even saying that someone in Pakistan wants me to be the chief minister, but failed to polarise the voters,” “Gujarat poll results have boosted the morale of Congress workers, not only in Gujarat but all over India, and given them the belief that the BJP can be defeated,” the 68-year-old leader said.

The Assembly election outcome would definitely help the Congress party in the 2019 elections, he said. “The way Rahul Gandhi has campaigned in Gujarat, his hard work and the way he drew huge crowds were very encouraging and helped us win the seats we finally did,” said Patel. He said the Congress was constantly improving and would do well in the upcoming state elections this year. The “young and dynamic” party president, Rahul Gandhi, would lead the Congress to victory in the 2019 polls, he held.
Talking about the triple talaq bill, which has been passed by the Lok Sabha and is awaiting the Rajya Sabha nod, he said the Congress had demanded that the bill be forwarded to a select committee so that all its provisions could be scrutinised.
